UFC veteran Chael Sonnen has expressed doubts about the future of Conor McGregor’s battle, criticizing both his lifestyle and repeated hints at his comeback. The former UFC candidate didn’t write words when discussing Conor McGregor’s next fight. Discussions about McGregor’s future are active between fans and analysts. He is supported by both his social media activities and the skepticism expressed by people like Sonnen.
Conor McGregor will not be back, Chael Sonnen says
Speaking about the recent YouTube broadcast, Sonnen said: “There’s no weight classes he has to fight for. There’s no training camp or gym he’s consistent with showing. I put on glasses. Sonnen continued, “I remember seeing this picture of this fighter that I’d been looking forward to in the old days. I could see the liquor in my eyelids and cocaine in my eyeballs staring at you.”
Sonnen, in contrast to McGregor’s official statement about returning to the Octagon in White’s comments, said, “Then, he has the only promoter who has a legal right to the surface of the earth so you can fight.
Chael Sonnen’s remarks arise amid ongoing speculation about Conor McGregor’s next move. The former UFC champion frequently teased his return to competition, but has not confirmed the date of combat. According to Sonnen, McGregor’s public persona and his actual preparation for competition continues to expand.
Conor McGregor has recently faced a series of legal and political challenges. In November 2024, he was liable for a civil lawsuit for sexually assaulting Nikita’s hand at a hotel in Dublin in 2018, allowing him to pay 248,000 euros to pay damages to cover the legal costs. McGregor denied the allegations and sued the verdict.
In addition to legal issues, McGregor has pledged to rekindle his campaign for the Irish presidency, using social media to criticize the EU’s migration agreement, and if elected, he pledged the referendum with a stance that sparked criticism from Irish political leaders.
“Essentially,” Sonnen said, “Connor will never fight again, but he will continue to tease his comeback.”
